Question: Is there a call to get the PC's name?

Question: Is there a call to get the PC's name?

Dunno if this helps.

 

print_named_str(char, "string")

 

char is the number of the character but it will print out the name of the charcter

 

Example: print_named_str(0, "looks handsome.");

 

char 0 is Aldous so it prints out "Aldous looks handsome."

You can do this with string manipulation, specifically append_char_name.

Thank you both. My question was answered.

 

Of course I won't ask about gender, as the only thing in the game that tells you're a female or a male character is the picture you've chosen.

 

So this can be tricky, if you're planning a scenario for a male main PC.

Ah, but having a female PC would only make it kinkier. Think of it as an added bonus.

Just let the player know what kind of party you're expecting them to play with. They don't have to use it, but if they don't, all problems become their fault.

That would be a solution.

Wait a minute... string manipulation is released and working? When did this happen?? I thought that'd be in a later update!

[Kelandon]

As of Scenario Format Version 2, namely Mac v1.1 or Win v1.0, we have string manipulation. The latest version of the docs includes the added calls and puts a handy little italicized note that they won't work in older versions of BoA.

Awesome.

 

Thanks.
